I just posted a PWM sysfs interface patch based on the previous work by
Lars. Hopefully I addressed all of Thierrys review comments.

I still need to add the Documentation and the ABI doc for the sysfs but I
want to make sure the interface looks acceptable.

I also spotted a couple checkpatch.pl issues after I posted the patch. These
are already fixed for v2.

Thanks,
Hartley
